Studio portrait of six serious faced railwaymen in a not-so-serious picture.

From Handbook of Imperial Germany by Janet & Joe Robinson:

"There were many men who wore uniforms inside Imperial Germany – customs officers, postal workers, railway men, foresters; a breed known as Beamten of officials. Former soldiers received preferential treatment and hiring into these professions. These German bureaucrats quickly adopted the non-commissioned officer tone. The type of discussion or tone was known as barsch. This harsh or brusque tone was common among the police forces."
